The Picture Frame

 The Picture Frame


I hold the scents you cannot smell,

I hold the secrets you cannot tell,

I hold the world you cannot touch, 

I hold the words you cannot call, 

I hold so much, 

Yet nothing at all



When people pass, they say, “What a nice picture,”

As if I am invisible, 

The picture gets the glory, the frame gets none, 

The picture is proud, while I am miserable, 


I am the one that brings this empty picture to life, 

The rocks in the picture as black as night, 

The snow as gray as the tip of a silver knife, 


The outline of my beautiful frame is spruce-brown with swirly designs, 

There is no frame in all the lands with wood so very fine, 


I hold the scents you cannot smell, 

I hold the secrets you cannot tell, 

I hold the world you cannot touch,

I hold the words you cannot call, 

I hold so much, 

Yet nothing at all

Do you ever feel like a picture frame or like the only reason you have any glory is because you are holding the famous picture? You don't get any glory, you "picture" does. I hope this poem will help express that you are not alone and everyone feels the same way some time or another.

Blue

 Here is a poem called "Blue." I wrote it when I was eight and I thought that it was a cute poem to post. Although blue isn't my favorite color. It's so pretty, it definitely deserves a poem: 


 Blue

Blue is the ocean, the sky, and the ice

Blue is waves whipping and the clouds cries

Blue is the salty sea

Blue is a bird that's free

Blue is dark and bright

Blue is fish and light 

Blue is a coat on a cold winter night 

In a large storm, blue is a float

An ocean with a small boat.


After a Hurricane

 The air is strange, after a hurricane when the winds howl fades to a whisper. the air is heavy with mist and ghosts of raindrops scattered ...
